And Dhokha Mo and on the radio in your car or in your house or wherever it might be stage a welcome to the program thanks a lot for having us along with you I still in the yesterday's news I couldn't even keep up with the stuff that happened Jolene told as you know sort of handling the anchor duties in the news responsibilities and b. And c. And giving us a news cast yesterday junk me just chock full of stuff and no matter where you turned there were something about the news this kind of scared me and for a 2nd because. I got that much you know I think. I'm though you know I'm in confusion I scratch my head because I'm Ok. Ok it was a week ago let me just go back in the time I'm talking about the Guard story is this now going to go away with the comments made by the former tag Roderick Leon Guerrero is this enough to put this to rest and let it go is are his comments about having listened quietly and I imagine that's all that you one can do you know people are talking about you on the radio and they're talking about things that happened under your leadership I can only imagine. That you're glued to the media reading and listening to everything and watching everything because. You need to hear what people are saying about you post leadership tenure and I can imagine what that feels like for somebody like Roderick Leon Guerrero for who I have never heard anything about negatively since that young man was a boy. As a matter of fact and so you know our families have history and we have always been close to that side of the family I mean we haven't had familiar relations so we you know we've always since we were since back in the day when we were in the hood so you know I know Rodrick Leon Guerrero only in the capacity of his leadership over at the National Guard I don't have 8 necessarily an any other personal relationship other than knowing his family and knowing where he comes from and sometimes that's what it's all about sometimes you know you align yourself with people who you know have you know like culture as in family culture and you could pretty much sum up you know what what what we're dealing with and his character has his character has never been in question I've never heard anything about him until now. And so I imagine him sitting on the side hearing his name being raked over the coals was probably enough for him. To be a little bit upset unhappy about it if that's if that's not an understatement and so I imagine the frustration of hearing people talk about you was the way it was it was the impetus for him to draft a 4 page response. A 4 page response to save his character his reputation clearly his dignity and defend his service and defend the fine people at the National Guard who are doing good things and and and and and I will say for this sake and wouldn't you agree that a true leader would be somebody who would put out a statement saying something that will save the reputation of the guard because you don't want that whole you don't want the Guam National Guard to have a blemish on it to the point where people have no confidence in it or don't respect it and there are a lot of fine locals that have joined the Guard for the sake of and betterment of their lives that do this part time to their other jobs and take this very seriously so you know less and less people were thinking this will bring down the guard the statement by him was classy in that it it props it up now all of the other things that are in apparently in this transition report have to be investigated if they are indeed there is something to it and he questioned Roderick questioned the way this transition committee questioned the rank and file and what sort of system did they use. In order to draw all of these allegations not in order because I'm sure that the transition committee can go in there and ask you know you know are there accusations of fraud in ization yes or no I mean they extracted this information from comments that were being made. By the rank and file and Granted granted any organization is going to have people within it that don't like you. And me and under the safety of security pinky swear that we want to tell anybody you will remain anonymous then you're free to speak and you can speak freely and it may even be true what these people are saying. But you know the the some of the stuff doesn't jibe It's just that some of the facts of the case some of the suppositions of the case some of the other things around surrounding it you know is a little bit confusing and let's let's just back it up Ok so we have the story that laid the foundation that there was something troubling happening within the Guard and they switched out Roderick for Esther whether it was you know whether it was amicable or you know what we were led to believe at one point is that it was contentious that when when you say things like insubordination or disobedience of a direct order it's it's it's putting a spotlight on him a warrior or in this case the tags inability to follow a direct order from his commander in chief and that's kind of a lot to say about somebody with a decorated career would you agree in the in the military service world you don't ever want to be characterized as somebody who disobeyed a direct order from their commander in chief and got removed for right Ok right. Normally you know. Like when the president takes over the president and the States takes over he doesn't change to the makeup of the military he has a Pentagon he has a military advisory a secretary of defense to work that out with to say this is what my goals are this is the you know how you're going to accomplish and stuff my reading of this is that Lou told Raj Rick this is what I want and do it and regardless of what the military channels or military regulations have to say about what she wants to get done do they comply what what the military says the guard has to do well it's the guard forwards falls under the Department of Military Affairs and Russia economically and they still have to follow the military guy I get that but technically he is also a cabinet member right that's the problem technically that's the problem Yeah Ok Is that put his military place of the military more important than being a political hack Well that well Ok words out of Bob's mouth not out of mind but he does make he does make the point in his letter or in his comments that he he was he was sorry to the administration that he was not able to be the political appointee that she wanted him to be so there was there was that there was that something has happened and car lot only on Guerrero who we talked to the other day walked back the comments about insubordination and I guess after having been. You know in discussions with. The governor you know had to walk back what she what the comments that were made and the only reason I have a problem with that is because Carlotta led the transition committee she led that team into the Guard and they spoke and she's in charge of the committee and it would seem to me that when she said that to us the other day that she knew what she was talking about and so whatever happened between the time that she had said what she had said and then a conversation with at a loop about how this is all looking now and the decision to walk back that's to me I'm a little confused and now it has become political now it has become as a different phase to it because before it sounded like and it was made out to sound a to b. I am your commander in chief and I have these direct orders for you to do something and they were not followed and so now you are being replaced and that all was presented by them it wasn't by us we asked the questions that seemed to be the natural ones to the hint that they were dropping that there were orders that were made and he weren't flaws and following and you hear it in the conversation I have a dead pause because I needed to think it over and I'm like Ok I'll bite was this insubordination and then Bob whispers in my ear the military service language is disobedience too and you're absolutely wrong normally and based on experience and everything is in the Navy when we put a person up on charges for disobeying an order there's also the follow on charge of insubordination. Ok. Yeah Ok And but anyway you know it put it sort of put a different more succinct language to the what the tone of the conversation was that this was a chain a military service chain of command as opposed to the governor who was directing a cabinet member to do something Ok so we've got 2 different tracks here and one sounded like it was an order coming from the commander in chief and now I think they're walking it back and saying that this never happened it wasn't like that at all you know so that's that's the reason and I want to give all the opportunity because this is kind of a big deal you know if we're talking about a guard that is rife with you know these accusations of some of the most egregious infractions it has a toll on family members it has a toll on deployed service members it has a toll on the morale of people who work in side that compound major general made a point of the morale is so bad over there you would have people leaving the unit the guard to get out of there because of bad morale but instead they've got people wanting to get in there turning people away because they don't have enough quotas I don't know so of morale is that bad you want to have people want waiting to get in . Well you know what. I think that that's too much too much of a statement to make it's too black or white because I think that there are people who joined the Guard because they know that it was either give them a job full time with the benefits that the Armenians loved out of when you live outside the base. There is that and then the and the other point The other point is that people just want you know want to serve and they'll figure it out themselves but I know people who want to get into the Guard because they have no other option they have no other options for jobs that it's easier to join the military but they don't want to join the military because they don't want to have to leave the island and be transferred somewhere else as opposed to you know being a you know being with the guard having you know and having a full time job there on the chance that you'll be deployed so you know you know people depending on the person's level of desperation to get a job and again I know people that are just dying to get in a just that they can have the benefits of then a lot of c.m. Even after you get the training that they want and everything else exactly they staying in because they because it's a full time job now and if you have a full time job and you've got these benefits and you're making a living you know low morale is something that you just suck. You know and after doing low morale you just pray to get to your next commander well and then there's no movement for people you just play to try to get deployed then right all right listen we could go through this a 1000 times and we absolutely can depending on what it is that is on your mind but we'll see whether or not we can put this one to rest is this enough of this story or are there is there a whole nother half of this that still has to be talked about we've got all sorts of other topics ahead and we're going to get to that as soon as we get through our news and traffic will be right back 33 minutes after 6 this time check is brought you by Micronesia renewable energy curious solar energy system with battery storage from Micronesia renewable energy serve your home will never be without power again conditions apply call 63226134 free consultation and further structure by explore your world.

Nice to have you with us and thank you for that yes that is flunkies that 10 minutes before 7 o'clock in the morning here comes from Good morning Frank. Yes Betty Yes Ok I have. Some suggestions maybe that would help the dial know why Ok 1st of all of our spies as attorney general Ok you know government I'm a retiree and you know the thing about the government. When somebody is being appointed you know. In English we call it it's time for it's time for them into a moment we say yes. Ok Ok so why is the proof questioning the governor of appointing a female 10 general and general is that you have to be a general who runs. The organization or the National Guard just like out in the government. You know like any agency. Where he called his general manager and a general manager is also you know you don't even have to be the best general manager in the world as long as you have the knowledge and the skills to to run that organization Ok. That's one point my other point is you know and a church status Ok I have noticed that you know the church a lot of people Catholics ever since that problem with the archbishop Buddhist sexual harassment incident you know the size of the population of the cattle it's not showing up at church I just want to get something straight. The thing is. When you go to church you're not going to church because for the individual so something's going to church because of God because what you believe in and you what you have faith in. Ok and then another thing I just like to point out. You know that rolled over in ricing so from the run into all the way down to but to St. That that's cheating really needs to be viewed. For you this time I mean you know it's right in front of the school and there's a lot of fun rows and what. I'm doing doesn't make sense you know Ok so many people going by that road have to be so frustrated about the road condition and yeah you know what I think there's a bunch of things that I gree with you I think that a let's start off with these saying some road we had a gentleman call yesterday who said the same thing he's been living on that roadway for 40 years and he says it's never been fixed it's been axed up but it's never been really fixed Ok so I agree with you on that the point you make about the church and how it's your faith is about the you know your faith and the other stuff that's happening on the sidelines should not dictate your faith so I agree with you on the point that you know you're going to church you're going to church for your faith you're not going to church or not going to church because of what's happening with this the sex abuse and clergy cases and the 1st point that you make I think what the misunderstanding here is that. And I think that this is what Robert Leon Guerrero is trying to point out in his letter is that we are looking at an organization that runs like aim like the military yet on the other side of that it's a position that is appointed It's a political appointment and it's he's a part of the he's part of the cabinet but the other end and so is the structure of the United States government appointees to the Department of Defense are political appointees of the president he makes these appointments as at at will and so what we're talking about in here is you know 2 are 2 different things really I mean you're He says it in the point that he makes of the very end of his letter where he wrote to the governor I know I did not meet your expectations of a political appointee it's because my duties and responsibilities as a military military leader are of greater weight and so he chose. The track that this is a military service organization and he's not going to play the game the politics game and so there there it is so you know there's 2 different understandings about how this should go. But at the same time you know. My the thing about it you know when we became matched in general Ok I'm sure that he was also appointed by the governor a Republican governor just a good time Ok so this now we have a Democratic governor live right there Deborah great guy Democratic governor exercised her right oh yeah I mean there's no question I don't think that anybody's arguing about that and she did exercise her right by this by her authority by the way when she when she originally sent out a news release saying that they are going to keep him on and she was going to keep him on it had nothing to do with his Republican answer his Democrat ness it was that she said that he's doing a fine job and so there's no reason to remove him and it was you know then it said that it was only after this transition committee report came out with all of these allegations were being made by the rank and file that they decided to remove him or have him removed or however what you know that the original was to favor Esther Aggy. Yeah so you know early on she was willing to keep him on Ok. My last point is I just hope it's not about racism you know since I'm too sexy I mean just to gender because every like I said led to Governor exerciser right. I don't know if it has anything to do with gender. I hope you don't I mean no. Actually that's. You know. The status of. Our protection. You know. Redeem yourself or your station status because like because she's a woman yes I don't know because you know. Don't underestimate women that's that's my that's my philosophy you don't understand but it for that reason you know any any good moral man would know that's the 1st lesson before you even know how to speak is don't underestimate the power of that you're more a woman so. Here's a guy here's the thing Frank. You know the only time I've ever heard about there being so this sort of sexism conversation has been since little younger rare 0 has taken over and the appointments that she's made and compared to every other male governor that I have covered since 1994 I've never heard them say oh my god that Camacho he is just appointing all these men look at any councillors disappointing all these guys. Oh you know yeah but you know like I said you know. I mean you don't. You know what I'm Dr Graham where America's day begins. Thank you very much I haven't. Got this oh I mean everybody out there right that's a nice statement to make a friend just he was pending up pent up 3 or 4 points that he wanted to rattle off all at the same time all right 10 minutes before 7 o'clock that's that for now we are still trying to get back some of the statements that were made about this and clarify we've extended an invitation to radically on Guerrero to come onto the show or to further clarify. What we're asking and he does not want to speak so there there is his part of it is his and he made a statement and he doesn't want to go anything where beyond them the other big contentious situation actually happening now the mayors that were looking very much forward to their meeting yesterday where all of the mayor sat down and went through agenda but they all had something to say about liberation day and it being removed in a. Bill that was introduced by Senator to Lena Nelson that will. Remove the mayors from the liberation day for of facilities festivities and give it to. And she is standing strong that there will be no gambling there not as long as she's got something to say about she even released another statement yesterday that the vice bicker Nelson stand strong against gambling and by the way this is not personal so I'm not even sure what that means I don't know what the inter I don't know her injecting that into the into the statement I've no idea what she meant by that. I wouldn't have one why would it have been personal Why would it have been personal She's never made the argument about that before anyway so the mayor's got together yesterday and they were not happening they were not having it they in fact there were a couple of mayors that stood up that we haven't spoken to and one of them was deal over as from the center from Santa Rita he says this is just insulting it's insulting and I think it's smarts because these mayors have not been. Spoken to you at all I mean this kid was they were they were blindsided by this bill and now I understand that to Lena Nelson wants to sit down with the mayors and I'm thinking g.b. Beer or whoever it is I think it was just definitely to sit down with the mayors and you know and have the conversation and I don't know if that's too you know a little too late but the mayor said you know what we're just going to act as if this bill is introduced but it is not law we're going to keep on keeping on and they're going to concede continue to plan for the Liberation Day festivities now there is. A measure out there that would have at least a life that $29.00 That's James mountain James Nelson James Morland that's the bill that would allow the mayors to do to craft rules and regulations for gambling in some of these festivities and so which is Ok. And apparently this bill according to Melissa virus has the backing of the administration that bill $29.00. It can possibly work it will it will work part time you know it'll allow for part time gambling games of chance and the like only at the liberation Carnival and only at the village fiestas it's basically reversing anything that had been done in the past and bringing it back it up for you don't have to go to the governor to ask for a special permit it would be on the mayors to be able to go ahead and do this and not have to go seek a special permit from the Got it would just reverse. The part of Senator telling the Nelsons other bill that took away these games. A year or 2 years ago was it 2 years ago 2 years ago this time 2 years ago as a matter of fact so there apparently is going to be an informational meeting on this this is at the. This is under Senator Pito term law he is the chairperson on public safety border security military and veterans affairs mayors Council infrastructure and public transit point that's a whole lot of stuff so anyway p.o. To turn law he is going to be holding an informational meeting at 6 o'clock on Friday evening and the topic recommendations for financial reporting requirements for games of chance at the liberation Carnival and other village fiestas affected by Bill Number 29 so I imagine there's going to be a lot ahead that will be going to this one and so. The mayors are forging ahead wild to Lena Nelson is digging in deeper she's now calling on all of you who voted all of those 5 times that you voted for various. Interests in games of chance casino gaming the bingo anything that you've ever voted to on the 5 times that everybody said no to all of these things she's telling you to call your mayor's office and and and vote again make you express your vote express your desire that is if you haven't changed your mind. If you have if you've changed your mind since then and now you're saying you know what I think it would be Ok at the Liberation Day Carnival I think it's not so bad on the village Fiesta level you know back then there was a lot going on and I didn't agree with it but but now that I see that you know there's some good that cunt come out of it then perhaps you know I was I was wrong when I made my 1st vote on any of the 5 times and she did if you did and so equally . The mayors might need your support as much as telling the Nelson is saying call them and tell them that you voted no if you've changed your mind or if you want to see it done then tell the mayors what you want and and and try to and try to show up because the only other way this is going to work is if the constituents the will step into the middle of this argument it's got to be the public that's going to step into the middle of this argument because to lean announce an is basing her information on these past times that they were voted and her whole line is. You said no and I'm backing your decision that it's her premise that's always been our main argument and the mayor's on the other side are going Yeah Ok we get it but you know these are things these are events that are supported by these games that go back in the proceeds go back into your community and the liberation carnival proceeds goes back into the community is it can that be an exception to your no or is your no absolute and so that it's the public that has to step up and say you know what we really don't think this is a bad thing or yeah you know I'm I'm stickin I'm sticking to my guns I don't want to see games of chance at the carnival and if you didn't go to the carnival because there were no games of chance for you to participate in then you should be the person who could answer that call. You should be the person if you did not go to the carnival because those games were not there then all y'all have to step up in one big group and you know and weigh in otherwise it'll be them against her and like I said they were saying how come she never came to a mayor's council meeting to address it it is because it would be to lean on Nelson against 1000 people who want you know maybe she didn't want to sit there and hear 19 mayors tell her this is a bad idea in argue the point on their turf So someone's got to say something I know who's going to say it but one somebody needs to Ok who's talking about what I'm just. Ok there's just too much I have too many that what's going on from from people although I can't get to it right now and in the short 2 minutes that I have there's no possible way that I can read all of those are right now we've got a new way to get to the war claims resolution gov the younger wrote yesterday sending a letter directly to the top partment of interior asking for immediate help in resolving the issue about the delay in paying out war claims and she and I quote here I am deeply concerned that as we believe parity and closure were near for Guam's remaining survivors and interpretation of Public Law 114 dash $328.00 May Now necessitate additional congressional action which will cause further delays this marks the 75th anniversary of Dawn's liberation by 4 u.s. Forces from Japan and the ability to provide closure is long overdue for a fine point she makes if we're going to if we're going to do anything to get off this pot then let's do it before we celebrate another landmark event occasion and that would be the date of the 75th anniversary so she's looking for direct intervention from the Department of Interior to fast track and this is what Marie said to Margaret was telling us the other day there might be an administrative way to do this and I think that's where the same track that Governor Leon Guerrero is on bypassing you know this going through legislation again as is suggested by delegate Mike cynical as yesterday in his capacity on the House Financial Services Committee that it would be. He would have some kind of influence in as a committee member to be able to put this attached to some other big legislation which is the best way to do it fast tracking or do you know going the way through the legislation It's 7 o'clock in the morning now we got more for you on the other side to get c.b.s.
